Never will I forget that Sunday morning while attending FAMU when my roommate came in and said he heard from Tallahassee legendary Radio DJ Joe Bullard on the radio that Marvin Gaye had been killed…. My immediate thought was “ Man that’s not funny!, why would Joe Bullard say that ?”… Several hours later my cousin comes over and says the same thing…. Later that evening I’m over with a group of friends studying for an Exam … we cut on the CBS Sunday News and Charles Osgood told the story about it…. Needless to say everybody on Campus was shocked especially when news came out how his death played out… Truly sad! Truly hope they could reconcile their differences on the other side🙏🏽

Great doc there. Marvin was truly a tragic figure and I don't think too much would've changed either way. Most of his problems stemmed from the enmity between him and his father. Alberta Gay even said that Marvin Sr. didn't even love him on the day he was born. IMO Marvin is in the top 5 greatest artists of all time. He was the master of the studio and if he had lived further into the '80s and into the '90s he would've been schooling all the young kids on how to make magic in the studio. I'm pretty much drawn to tragic figures and Marvin's life was a Shakespearean tragedy in many ways. The ironies that came back around to deal him harm and the sins of the father being visited upon the son are clear with how Marvin through a haze of drugs and paranoia had his lovers do things that are beyond the pale. Marvin seemed to CRAVE suffering and it often fuelled his genius but when he was under control he was one of the most sensitive and sweetest people around. In short, I believe Marvin was a good person at heart but the dysfunction of his life and drug dependency screwed him up terribly. Marvin probably had mental health issues that could've been taken care of but alas it was never addressed. Despite all this his music is universal in that he has at least one song for every emotion imaginable. Marvin and his music was deeply personal yet could appeal to anyone and he projected love 99.9% of the time in his music and tried to do the same in life. Truly Marvin lives up to his own lyric: "The artist pays the price so you don't have to pay/If only we would listen to what they have to say"

Gaye was supposed to do a concert here and Denver and he didn't show up so he owes me $10 lol the fans were so upset. They tore up the stadium so we didn't get our money back I was very young when this happened. I believe it was in the 80s. I did get the honor of needing his brother Frankie and Denver. He came here to play with my husband's band and a small setting and it was beautiful and he sounds just like his brother, and he said that he would neverperform because he didn't want to be a copycat of his but he sounds just like him and look just like him too. I never forget you told me I was beautiful. It hurts that he's gone. Rest in peace Marvin we love you.
